Molly Heffernan

You deserve to feel better. I am a Registered Social Worker who is excited about and honoured to provide effective therapy services. In my practice, I see all kinds of humans, who show up struggling with all kinds of human issues. These issues generally include (but are definitely not limited to) depression, anxiety, stress, addictions, perfectionism, grief and loss, parent-teen conflict, trauma, life transitions, self-esteem, negative self-talk, shame, self harming, relationship issues, codependency, boundaries, people pleasing challenges, and OCD. Maybe you don’t have a word for what you’re going through, but you know that it is uncomfortable and that you’re not coping in a way you'd like. Perhaps you feel numb, stuck, or in auto-pilot. Maybe you tend to avoid situations, overthink, and ruminate. Or maybe your emotions get big and intense and you often feel captive to your mood. Your experience is unique to you but I want you to know that you are not alone and it is not hopeless. It would be my honour to meet you where you’re at and walk alongside you on your journey – supporting you with skilled treatment that comes from a place of authentic care for the whole person. I offer warmth, quality and effective care, and a truly judgement-free space. I see you with the utmost compassion and understanding. My clients would describe me as kind, down to earth, relaxed, (hopefully funny - when appropriate!), and genuinely invested in their wellbeing, making it easy to find comfort within our relationship quickly. In addition to and of course (!!!), it is just as important to offer a level of clinical skill and experience to support my clients in their process. My approach is eclectic, and I draw from various evidence-based modalities (ways of doing therapy), and consider attachment and human development, in our work. I hold formal certifications in CBT, DBT, ACT, and Brainspotting, and also love to incorporate somatics work (body-based) when helpful. I understand how challenging life can be sometimes. I would be honoured and excited to work with you in making life more fulfilling, enjoyable, or simply a little easier to cope with. Please feel free to reach out for any information - I'd love to hear from you!
